Probably some sort of weaving-based wreck, "Ya gotta fight fur dem pusishun, only 32 lap ter go."

Oh boy, get ready for some manufacturers lining up and only helping each other! Hopefully things will be better than the last few Talladega fall races. I hate the new rules package this year, except it actually has been pretty damn great at Daytona and Talladega.

Seems like the Fall races the last few years are either boring as hell or full of a bunch of stupid wrecks... I think I'd rather have a derp fest.
